Let’s start at the beginning – the MJE-384K DirectView capsule housing places the diaphragm at the front edge of the mic to eliminate the diaphragm set back coloration and transient response degradation heard in many SDC mics.

Btw, this is Michael Joly writing. Please read on to learn why the MJE-384K is a great sounding, great value upgrade to your existing RODE NT5. Then either buy a matched pair of 384K capsules or send me your questions.

Next, the MJE-384K features my new capsule backplate design and tuning. This design provides exceptionally flat and extended frequency response. You'll hear great bass and a smooth top end free from sibilance, peakiness and harshness. Acoustic guitar harmonics and cymbals will sparkle – but without the excessive brightness heard with the stock NT5 capsule.

Pair Matching Details

Your new MJE-384K capsules are a true matched pair – each diaphragm is electronically analyzed and hand-selected for optimum resonant frequency then culled into a pair. Complete capsules are tuned to an exact capacitance specification. This attention to detail ensures wide, flat frequency response in each capsule plus perfect frequency response and level-match between both capsules. Ask around - this level of design refinement and quality control is just not found outside of expensive, high end SDC mics - until now with the MJE-384K.
